In Order

The first leg of the drive to Indiana wasn't so good for me. My back was really hurting and then I got a migraine. Thomas made me a bed in the back of the truck and I managed to survive 5 hours to just outside of Knoxville. It felt great to get off the road and into a bed- and I didn't miss The Hills or The Bachelor- London Calling. :) Tuesday morning we hit the road around 11:00am and arrived at my sister Kim's early that evening. I just love being there. It's so calm and comfortable, so welcoming. We stayed there until Thursday and then headed an hour north to my sister Heather's. Baby Elliot is getting so big and oh so cute! They had 3 showings that night.....so we ventured to a new outside shopping center to have dinner. Friday I woke up with another horrible migraine (a vomitting one) and stayed in bed most of the morning. Tom made me a doctor appointment with my new PCM (Primary Care Doctor) that afternooon. She is in the same network as my new oncologist which is wonderful. She will be the one to make all of the referrals that I will be needing. I really like her and am so glad I don't have to go to the Naval Hospital anymore. Friday evening we got to do a walk through of our new house! I love it! Love it, love it, love it! It's huge. I can't wait to move in! Today we drove up to Tom's momma's and are headed to my sister Rene's to see Alyssa and Chas. I know they too have changed and I can't wait to see them.

I'll post pictures soon. I am keeping up with the "picture a day" so you can go there to see some. The closing date on the house is the 8th but we won't get pocession until the 11th. It can't get here any sooner.

Woo hoo! I am so glad you "LOVE IT"! I know you were nervous but I had faith. I can't wait to see the pics once you and Tom have put your touches all over it. I am sure it will be a stunner. As for you feeling icky.....So sorry you were sick. Hang in there! It sounds like you are going to get better medical care there. That is a big answered prayer. Miss you so much! Talk to you soon!

Sounds like Alison could use some extra prayers right now. Count on mine. I pray faithfully for her, and as I continue to do so I'll ask my friends & local prayer chains to join in. - Side note - I've been reading your blog from south-western Pa. but will soon be relocating to IN. myself. My husband was transfered there in March & I will be joining him in a few weeks. A blog friend, Suzanne
